3 Claims. (Cl. 160--111) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in curtain rods and window shade holders.

More particularly, the present invention proposes the construction of an improved combined window shade holder and hanger for curtains, draperies and accessories which can be mounted and removed easily, simply and adjustably at a window.

Still further, the present invention proposes forming the device so that it can be removably mounted at a window and so that curtains, draperies and accessories may be hung at either side of the window shade held by the device.

As another object, the present invention proposes constructing the holder and hanger device so that it can be folded together for carrying, shipping, storing or the like with the window shade disposed inside the curtain rods.

Another object of the present invention proposes forming the hanger portion of the device so that it can be raised or lowered to adjust curtains or draperies after they are hung.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

The rods 16 and 17 may be formed from the usual curtain rods. The curtain rods 16 and 17, like conventional rods, are substantially C-shaped in cross section for sliding rod 16 into rod 17 to telescope the curtain rods. Solid bars 24 and 25 are mounted in curtain rods 16 and 17, respectively, in or adjacent the curved ends 22 and 23 of the curtain rods. These solid bars 24 and 25 have exposed portions located between the spaced edges 26 and 27 of the substantially C-shaped curtain rods.

A window shade 28 is mounted in and between the curtain rods 16 and 17. Shade or blind 28 has the usual roll 29 with end pieces 30 and 31 projecting therefrom. Shade support bar-s or levers 32 and 33 having ends 34 and 35 and 36 and 37, respectively, are provided. Thread shafts or screws 38 and 39 connect the ends 34 and 36 of the levers 32 and 33 to the solid bars 24 and 25 in the curtain rods 16 and 17 adjacent the curved ends 22 and 23 of the curtain rods. Lock nuts 40 provide means adjustably to secure the levers 32 and 33 to the shafts or screws 38 and 39 and similarly to secure the shafts or screws 38 and 39 to the solid bars 24 and 25.

The other ends 35 and 37 of the support bars or levers 32 and 33 have twisted free portions with roll end openings 41 and 42 removably and slidably to receive the ends 30 and 31 of window shade roll 29. In this manner, adjustable window shade roll holding means is provided in the curved end of each curtain rod removably to hold 49 and 50 of these rods may slide into these portions 55 and 56 of the blocks.

The lower portion 75 of the axial opening 74 between the jaws is larger in diameter than the mounting rods 47 and 48 so that these rods may pass freely through and in and out of the axial opening 74. The upper portion 76 of axial opening 74, however, is larger still in diameter to receive and seat the lower end portions 77 of blocks 43 and 44, these end portions 77 draperies and accessories comprising a pair of hollow curtain rods having telescoping straight ends and curved opposite ends, adjustable and pivotable window shade roll holding means connected with each curtain rod adjacent the curved end thereof removably to hold a window shade roll, a pair of mounting blocks secured to the curtain rods adjacent the curved ends thereof, a pair of window mounting brackets to slidably, and removably support said blocks at opposite sides of a window, a pair of mounting rods, interlocking means removably to connect the mounting rods with the blocks so that the curtain rods may be adjusted by said mounting rods, said curtain rods being substantially C-shaped in cross section and said adjustable and pivotable window shade roll References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS Cowdroy Apr. 28, 1914 Mentz June 28, 1949
